For decades, scientists and engineers have been investigating and describing storage and
transport mechanisms in geological porous media such as reservoir rocks. This effort has …

Since the beginning of the US shale gas revolution in 2005, the development of
unconventional oil and gas resources has gathered tremendous pace around the world …

The marine black shale formations on the Upper Yangtze Platform (UYP), South China are
exploration targets for shale gas. Here, we report on the methane sorption capacity of …

Shale permeability and its variation under high stress are vital for gas production from deep
shale gas reservoirs. Most experiments of stress-dependent permeability for organic-rich …

The marine black shale formations on the Upper Yangtze Platform, South China, are
currently exploration targets for shale gas. Here, we report on the mineralogy, lithofacies …

Hydraulic fracturing is an effective means for the economic development of shale oil
reservoirs. A large volume of water is introduced into the shale matrix during hydraulic …

The permeability of low-permeable gas shales is affected by both, fluid-dynamic (slip flow)
and poro-elastic effects over a large pore pressure range. To analyse and separate the …

This paper sheds light on the potential of carbon storage and gas recovery from shale using
pure and multicomponent sorption studies. A multi scale approach was adopted where …

Supercritical CH 4 and subcritical CO 2 and N 2 gas adsorption measurements, combined
with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to determine CH 4 sorption …

We conducted pulse-decay permeability experiments on Utica and Permian shale samples
to investigate the effect of rock mineralogy and pore structure on the transport mechanisms …
